Please find a way out of there. The court will split things as eveningly as possible but that’s beside the point. Many women in foreign countries and in this country walk away from abuse with noting but the clothes on their backs and a bus ticket to an anonymous town. They not only survve but they thrive when away from the monster. So, forget it all. Why engage the spitting nutcase ape in a legal battle. Win without fighting–walk away from this. Just go. It will be your gift to yourself to simply pack a bag, leave a note for your grandmother that for her rotection you will tell her where you are later. Tell the police and your counselor you will tell them your location within a month. Then, girlfriend, take his stuff to the pawn shop and sell it, empty the bank account and get in the car and drive to the airport. Get on a plane and land in a medium sized city at least a thousand miles away (and warm) and go to the women’s shelter there and ask for help.They will direct you into a soci
Mental abuse is grounds for divorce. Don’t worry about “what you will get” because your physical safety is worth more than money. And if you are not acting because you are worried about not getting enough than your priorities are screwed up. If you don’t work and get divorced, even if he is more at fault or at fault, you aren’t going to be supported for the rest of your life. So pick. In some states, as far as who gets what in a divorce, it is divided up equatably but not equally. Meaning, that if you bought the house during your marriage, you will probably be entitled to half of the equity that was generated while you were together but are not entitled to be given a house. Another thing is he may make your feel bad, but he is not the cause of mental illness. You drew someone like this into your life because of your depressive nature or low self esteem, etc. and you have finally woken up and had enough. And that’s wonderful. But if you have a guy like this, the hurt started long ago be
Emotional abuse is definitely grounds for a divorce. Only a bully hits a woman & behaves as he does. Don’t stay in that marriage any longer than necessary. Seek the advice of a good lawyer & get the ball rolling. Your husband will continue to abuse you verbally & physically, as long as you stay with him & allow it. The next time he hits you, yells at you angrily, spits in your face, etc. dial 911…they’ll put his sorry butt in jail. The jails are full of bullies like him. You’d be doing yourself a big favor. When, not if, you go to court for your divorce, he will NOT get everything. Your lawyer will explain how it all works. No woman should have to endure what you have been subjected to. Be strong & don’t take his crap anymore. Marriage shouldn’t hurt like that.
